Echoes of Our Last Embrace

Love…
…retains its substance through distance and time when we are separated. To hear your voice I only have to close my eyes. Then I remember something sweet you said to me and feel the echoes of our last embrace.

American author and novelist Jacqueline Carey
There is no
fulfillment
that is
not made
sweeter
for the
prolonging
of desire.

The Spaces Between

Love…
…builds anticipation to get home and see you again. When a week has separated us, the first moment together again is sweet and magical.

From a song by “Owl City” (Adam Young)
… I look
at my hands
and feel sad.
Because
the spaces
between
my fingers
are right where
yours
fit perfectly.”

Motivating Forces

Love…
…maintains it strength whether you are inches away or thousands of miles in the distance. There is a great comfort beyond explanation in loving and being loved.

British musician and philosopher John Lennon
There are two
basic motivating forces:
fear and love.
When we are afraid,
we pull back from life.
When we are in love,
we open to all
that life has to offer
with passion, excitement,
and acceptance.

Until We Meet Again

Love…
…is thinking of you in the morning after I first get up and at night as I am going to sleep. It is a casual thought of you at lunch time and when driving home. At random moments all throughout my day you are on my mind, always hoping you are well and going good.

Writer and spiritual leader Rabbi Julius Gordon
So until we meet again,
I am thinking of you
Always;
I love you;
I wish you were here…
In my arms.

Time’s Ceaseless Flow

Love…
…is expressed in a volume of meaning without a single word spoken during a hug that lingers when we haven’t seen each other in several days.

Taken from “Love Defined” by Matt Dubois
What is love,
but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured
and shared with another
All tests it will endure.
What is love,
but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength
to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow.

When You Return To me

I love…
…the way we linger when we’re saying goodbye when one of us has to be away for a few days. Neither is in a big hurry to leave and the last kiss happens at least two or three times before we separate.

“I’ll Be Waiting” – Author Unknown
Look
out
to
the
horizon,
A whole world lies beyond.
The path of life shall guide you
And move you swiftly on.
There’s new things to discover
And unseen sights to see
But always I’ll be waiting
For when you return to me.
